Allison writes: I genuinely can’t believe I have to post this but – 3 weeks to the day since Rebel died – our other greatly loved dog Shepsie passed away. He was happy and healthy until the very end, and spent his very last moments in Homme-Adams surrounded by his dog park friends. I can’t say he was a “good” dog and indeed we frequently referred to him as “the bad one”. He was confident, smart, amazingly athletic, had a great sense of humor, and until he got a bit older really a handful. I always said that Shepsie never started fights, but he pushed other dogs’ buttons so they would react. But living with him was so rewarding and I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it.

About Us

The Friends of Palm Desert Dog Parks started with just a bunch of strangers walking their dogs in the Cappe Homme - Ralph Adams dog park off of Highway 74 in Palm Desert. As we got to know one another, we decided we needed to do more than just pick up poop every day: we needed to ensure Palm Desert kept its dog-friendly and off-leash areas safe, clean, and available.
